Thailand Getaway | ～Visiting Photogenic Spots～

Hotel Nikko Bangkok recommends photogenic spots to capture your special moments.

Taling Chan Floating Market

The Taling Chan Floating Market is located along the Chak Phra Canal and in front of the Taling Chan City Hall in the “Taling Chan District” on the west side of Bangkok.

People who lived in Bangkok before the city became more active due to modernization, built their houses along the Chao Phraya River. They used boats that traveled on the canal as a means of transportation, rather than on land, because the roads were not well maintained at that time. Because of the remnants of that time, the market is still operating, mainly for the tourists. People sell a variety of foods and seasonal fruits, fresh local vegetables, and fish on the boats. There are also temples, orchid farms, and on-the-water restaurants for the tourists to enjoy.

Wat Saman Rattanaram

The large pink Ganesh statue, which leaves a lasting impression once seen, is located at Wat Saman Rattanaram Temple. Generally, the Ganesh statue has a human body, four arms, and an elephant head with one tusk missing. It is the god of wealth and the god of commerce and academics.

There are a total of 14 mouse around the Ganesh statue. In Thailand, each day of the week of the week is assigned a specific color, and the color of the mice surrounding Ganesh is also assigned to each day of the week, so you can pray to the mice of the same color as the day of your birthday.

The temple is located in Chachoengsao Province. It is about an hour and a half drive from Bangkok, so it is a little far from Hotel Nikko Bangkok, but there are half-day tours departing from Bangkok. Wat Saman Rattanaram could be a suitable photogenic sightseeing spot in Thailand.
